Essential Question
College Board Mission
Challenging students to own their future.
The College Board's mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. We are a not-for-profit membership organization committed to excellence and equity in education.
Every student deserves the opportunity to prepare for, enroll in, and graduate from college. That is what drives us. That is the ethic we share with educators across the globe. People like you.
NCAPP Mission
The mission of the Partnership between The College Board and the state of North Carolina is to prepare, inspire, and connect students to postsecondary success and opportunity, with a particular focus on minority students and students who are underrepresented in postsecondary education.
”It is the intent of the State of North Carolina to enhance accessibility and encourage students to enroll
in and successfully complete more rigorous advanced courses to enable success in postsecondary
education for all students. The North Carolina State Board of Education shall seek a partner to form the
North Carolina Advanced Placement Partnership, hereinafter referred to as Partnership, to assist in
improving college readiness of secondary students and to assist secondary schools to ensure that
students have access to high-quality, rigorous academics with a focus on access to Advanced Placement
courses (G.S. 115C-83.4A).”
Why AP?
Education = Freedom
